The One State Convention Petitions Con-
gress for Statehood.
ABERDEEN, D. T., Dec i6-The adnis-
sion-as-one-state convention came to orier at
noon, and organized temporarily with H. c.
Preston, of Mitchell chairman. The princi-
pal business of the Convention consisted OF
the adoption Of a memorial to congress for
the admission of Dakota as one state, and the
appointment OF a committee to go to WASH
ington. An adjournment to 2:S) p. m. was
taken after temporary organization, and
the convention was permanently organized
after its reassembly by the election of George
H Rice as permanent chairman. The COM
mittee on credentials reported fifty-nin
counties represented by $50 delegates There
are eighty-four counties IN the territory.
A letter from Congressman Springer, Of
Illinois was read, in which he said that the
| reason the territory had not been admitted as
a state was the lack of unaminity in the ter
ritory, one faction desiring division and the
other that the whole territory should make
one state. He argued against division, and
said he would always oppose admission on
the division plan but WIS heartily in favor of
admitting the whole territory as one state.
| The convention then proceeded to draft
| and adopt a memorial to congress praying
for the admission Of Dakota as state and
that an enabling act be passed so that the
territory can proceed to adopt constitution,
etc. A committee consisting Of two members
| from each judicial district and three-at large
was appointed to visit Washington and urge
admission, and the convention adjourned
